Photography
Introduction
The photography project was extremely well received by the teenagers who enjoyed the whole learning process. Their selection was called ‘In our shoes’ and highlighted their space in their community.
Project Overview
Target Population
Age 10 +
Goals and Learning Objectives
Developing new skills in photography, design and presentation
Project Time
2 hours one day per week
Project Duration
September to December or January to June
Setting
Room required and going out on location
Equipment
All necessary equipment will be supplied by tutors.If a continued interest is shown then equipment can be purchased at a later stage
Tutor Requirements
One trained facilitator
Tutor Skill
Photography and used to working with young adults
Budget and Cost Implications
We were extremely fortunate to have such a talented photographer Sharon McCreedy, donate her time free, and she was also kind enough to have the pictures mounted and framed as a donation. There are colleges now who with new technology can assist local community groups with photography lessons and picture development so seek partnership with a local Institute of Technology.
Project Event
The project ended with an exhibit of their work. We were extremely lucky to have a very talented lady take this group – she had all twelve of their pictures framed and mounted. The exhibit went on to be shown all around the county for the next year.
Project Outcome
It proved to be extremely successful in developing a new skill and harnessing their creativity, it also gave them a sense of ownership and perspective on their surrounding community.
